money and power return to public hands. cops enforce the power of the political because they go out bloomberg simple morrow because they want to go out they said they won't because the mayor said tomorrow bloomberg is a you know you me you know someone is special privileges taken away from me and the people so far i'm very courageously keeping nudo they take heart from one p.c. going out across the world and they're still going to go to cuba masses in new york yesterday to prove just tens of thousands of people came out of the st louis york who were so i mean he would come out three weeks after this game maybe just spread in those big numbers across america nineteen sixty's and it was simple race for all he did earlier for labor it was labor hall maybe you can do it here only because these people one who won't be easy it will be without

a commitment it won't ever have. the cool if you will money power in america it's going to go back to go against you know who will get down there it's. not our website artsy dot com we're asking viewers what the outcome of those u.s. rallies will be so far the majority is sure they'll be a lot of noise but very little action a quarter of think the anger will boil over and clashes with the national guard a fifth of the voters see it as the end for president obama's hopes for a second term in office and only fifteen percent believe it will actually lead to reform we're going to know what you think log on and have your say and aren't. in other news several people are reported dead in the latest clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in syria human rights groups continue to sound the alarm over multiple rastan killings but one high profile

victim has made an amazing reappearance parties are bennett reports on the media's quickfire reaction to a dramatic story at the expense of checking facts. she was hailed as the flower of syria the symbol of the suffering under president bashar assad's brutal regime at least that's what much of the western media said after the parent put her in as zeinab al hosni we have you pictures of what was done to squibs and they are simply too gruesome to air several western media outlets who puts a report on these gruesome deaths apparently the first woman killed in government custody but now it appears she's miraculously back from the dead even being interviewed on syrian t.v. . i came to the police station to see the truth and that's what i see to those line channels i'm now still alive not dead human rights groups like amnesty international jumped on the bandwagon to reporting our hosni was tortured murdered

and mutilated it even claimed a mother found the body in a morgue last month all assertions is now being forced to backtrack on this we will inevitably be a little more cautious and phrase things a little bit more nuanced the state broadcaster says the interviews to dispel what it labels fabrications by foreign media to serve western interests and stories like this that have been used to prop up calls from the u.s. britain and france for un sanctions to be slapped on syria but their foundations are now looking shaky or the never has footage religiously shows an armed assad civilians being targeted by gun toting rebels so perhaps not the peaceful opposition there have been made out to be by the west that only seems to look one way. this notion that the u.n. has is now part of this pro-democracy receipt regime is ridiculous but they're jumping on that bandwagon is an opportunity to create its deceptive appearance

while at the same time there is supporting the dictatorships that are aligned with them in the united nations and it's part of their own are russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution for syria seeing through it as a potential cover for another libyan style intervention say may not be any oil this time but there's always and syria motive its importance is as a geopolitical factor right next to israel a country which obviously america and britain and the other western powers strongly support so that would be the ulterior into a political motive to be to use a followed by a security council walkout from america over remarks during the syrian envoy speech but the u.s. promised to be back with another resolution and undoubtedly more dramatic evidence to drive that point home either bennett r.t. london. russia and china vetoed a u.n. resolution on syria over concerns the mandate quite pave the way for a libya style military intervention and moscow said nato's actions in that we're

not save civilians but caused more casualties instead so far president of the arab lawyers association says the people's lives were never at the heart of nato's campaigns. you have to remember the resolution of the u.n. was in fact only come find to a no fly zones to imposing a no fly zones it was there to protect civilians at the end of the very day we end up with nato actually going to follow it against the people of libya obviously the dictatorship which prevails there is no reason to declare war on the people often libya by nato i think the us britain france and the western powers are hiding behind nato so that no one can point a finger but the figures need casualties caused by the nato bombing is really mounting two weeks ago and the human rights council in geneva the commission which was asked to investigate the situation in libya came with

a report saying that they have discussed with nato nato has confirmed to go call it that they have not had any targeting against their civilians i think nato is continuing its war against the libyan people ought to be that they got rid of the dictatorship but we seem to be heading to the same exercise they have done in iraq and i think russia was right in taking the position of this of the syria because we don't want a repeat performance whereby the un took the position in iraq and then took the position in libya and now they were heading for syria. well a study ahead for you this hour and exercise a day not only keeps the doctor away but also helps you work better at least that's what authorities say in russia's penza region they've instructed all state workers to do p.t. right there in their offices more on that coming up in our rush hour close up

policeman was a commander in a very rude i mean taking pictures i told him i was a journalist but he gave an order and i had one of the flash bangs thrown at me these are some pictures i took. the place he'd taken shelter the fight the sound of the flash bang causing always takes this injury which is called. after the attack i won't call it an accident it was an attack like a small. an investigation was launched into the incident the progress has been slow finding a list tells the countless cases against heavy handed police tactics and. any kind of results we witness for ourselves the lack of discrimination when the police lash out when journalists along with his camera to the ground the rise in the level of aggression seen by the least and the more extreme groups the protest is causing serious concern. with the government continuing to implement said there were thirty measures needed to receive cash. to keep escalating i think

just raise i would think it would be a good father may also not be the same because then they are the back and start again debt free they don't have to increase taxes. and see if everyone helps us become more competitive again so. that may actually be potentially the best solution on the other hand if the bear everything you want sacrifice and a currency is the belief of the euro or the wall the thing is there mostly. likely possibly if the leaders for example in germany are managing to sell their toes it was a public. debut and most likely friends and sacrifice currency stability in order to avoid this uncontrolled collapse which would be quite difficult for political stupid if you put your money in the bank it's gone. that was economic analyst martin hannett key with his view on how cash strapped euro zone countries should react to the debt crisis. but washington is threatening to leave you notes go without american cash as the world's education and heritage group moves

in south pacific and in the process not russian peacekeeping forces have already been stationed in there are both republics but beginning with this versification of this agreement bases will be stationed in both are probably explored the next forty eight nine years so the number of papers the number of memorandums and agreements has died between russian and a positive presidents in the kremlin today just goes to show that oppose it and moscow will continue on the course of full cooperation in the future as well. for more exclusive stories and coverage don't forget to visit our site r.t. dot com here's with online for you right now party talks to the king of talk shows that's larry king of course to discuss the highlights of his career including his award winning interview with wife. and as the russian resort city of sochi prepares to host the twenty fourteen winter olympic games an army of volunteers and

these recommendations in fact working for the government will be very frustrating always telling people to do stuff with having no way of enforcing it now what would happen if you could actually read people follow through i would be more healthy well officials are no longer have to wonder because in penza that's exactly what the government has done getting healthier whether they like it or not every weekday morning attorney am the tannoy in state institutions across pens are beginning a familiar announcement. cheerful voice recites what i now are familiar exercises of the governor's instructions no one is allowed to slack off some go beyond what's required. all this this has returned to my use and my use to me we all of our governors initiatives. officials in this district have been told to leave the company car in the carriage and get on their bikes and now

all government business has to form from the saddle. the head of the local administration says the initiative has not only improved health but brought officials closer to the people. i asked the governor can we have one more car to help us with her duties he said you can have three to scooters under by so the tree officials can observe their people see who is up to what who's leaving rubbish outside for example. some critics have said the government's compulsory initiatives reminiscent of those in soviet times violate people's rights but a sports mad former motorbike rider denies the accusations and my abusing human rights the only way i am abusing human rights is by not giving people the opportunity to do even more physical exercise. as the clock strikes then. the police are out in force. looking for bad children the governor has imposed

a curfew for unsupervised under sixteen and. as not i think it is a waste of police time target those children with arrested and returned to their homes we haven't seen them out on the streets again and in this day there are no violators at all as the troll wraps up with pride all round the citizens of the can sleep well. safe in the knowledge that the path and day they're healthier more complete and the streets are increasingly free. up next here in r t it's the business that they. thanks and he said that in a person that sets out the economic priorities of what's likely to be the next government in a keynote speech to an investment forum in a moscow the prime minister reassured investors the country would maintain strict

budget discipline and would continue with the process of liberalization comedy in the course of what is at the forum with more notes you merino so what were the main points prime minister putin highlighted in the speech. for prime minister vladimir putin started off by saying that russia is of course a feeling is still the aftereffects off the financial crisis and that he understands that risks worldwide are growing pressure is that's a prepared to handle another crisis if it of course comes to that and he then went on to lay out the policy for the government to liberalize a share in the economy. and you mentioned that it is a strategy is the street should gradually reduce its direct presence in the economy therefore we gradually withdrew from state corporations through privatization and we appoint independent professionals to the boards of companies and states to ship . or now to discuss this further i'm joined by chief economist of the to be capital

alexander used to thank you very much for joining us and that is unless the prime minister laid out his economic policy priorities for the next few years do you detect any differences between this administration and the prime minister's recommendation it's. putting this here correctly mentioned. regenerated but there is a show and visualisation and muckraking on instability and remain is the key priority is for for the government for its here for the next several years the only thing is that it probably will be slightly more challenging for the next administration to be serious this is goals because. the school policies know my constraint was there was the budget deficit and russia a space in the challenger sarah probably the slower growth so for the global economy the prime minister also gave a high priority to the considered liberal isolation of the russian economy especially when it comes support its isolation are the market conditions going to

hold up do you. think it might be quite challenging them to get in the view when the they minister for the economy mention this explicitly efore of market conditions remain for blunt and if i was their investment banks that can sell them in a simple take on my own currency say should decide that it's certainly not the right moment now in the present to wait for another window was open for today i think are yes they can be some shifts in the schedule. cold blood in your boots and says he doesn't think that will be another crisis your chief economist you share that assessment i would actually share the opinion that you crave for sixty five there was the piece here had of the central bank mention is that the world is approaching a new stage of their assessment of girls perspectives. we should be preparing not for a nap or a sorry you returned as happened in cells and aid but hillary for slower growth for

several years so we're seeing that money is still from the country a lot of capital flight what you think that will stop will it stop and how will the elections the run up to the elections maybe have to do with that. actually if you look at there to sell to the third quarter number is outflows from russia. i mean that in prison foreign rushing around in four nests which is russian money leaving the country and actually moderated what resulted in largely kept a low flow is that enough warning by russian corporates was close to zero many and kept the markets. no difficult then the russian companies can and cannot quarrel. externally as much as they as they used to so you feel unsafe or similar conditions remain difficult they'll probably continue to seek a plausible stand by the alexander to provide chief economist service in the

capital thank you very much for joining us now of course are most of the finance here have been positive but quite realistic and we'll see how though russia will try to overcome that challenge this but one thing is for sure and that it is that economists here i'm quite surprised more investments to strengthen their beds the rest of markets. all right money in across europe thank you so much and of course many thanks to your guest that if somebody from easily capital. that's all we have time for in this edition of the business news on out in the headlines are next. to the road.
